NAME:

Hyacinth the colt

The colt Jacinto has just been born, and in a few moments he will go looking for his mother. Other little animals came to welcome you, as a sign of friendship! It's just joy on the farm! Momma Carlota is the happiest little mare on the farm. Your beloved foal was born very hungry! Will there be milk for such an appetite?
Ah, but if Mom Carlota's milk doesn't take care of all that hunger, a delicious food can be savored by him. Now it's time for Mom Carlota to take Jacinto to exercise her muscles. Running across the field is one of the things all foals love to do.

And Jacinto tries to neigh like a real adult horse. But he's just a baby, still, and his whinnying is just a qui-qui-qui! Then Jacinto realizes that he has more friends on the farm. And everyone tries to do the same thing. But not everyone neighs like Jacinto's dad. One does what-que-que-que, another laughed-laugh-laughed, and yet a third one tries, with all his strength, a nice whinny, but what comes out is just a rincó-risu-risu!
Jacinto's daddy is called Hurricane, because he is the fastest horse on the farm. Jacinto thinks his neigh is the most beautiful of all. Jacinto listens to his daddy until he falls asleep. It's so good to hear your daddy, who will also sleep in his own place later.
The next day, Papa Furação takes Jacinto to the girl Jussara. She loves horses and loves the colt Jacinto. Jussara is the daughter of Mr. Zeca, owner of the farm, and likes to play with all the animals. She will take you to see beautiful scenery near the valley. But Jacinto realizes that what he really likes is running. She wants to be like her daddy Hurricane, number one in racing. A true champion! Your dad is very proud of this, and he's sure Jacinto will be very happy!
